Chaos in a classical limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model
arXiv:1711.04768 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.155128
Abstract
We study chaos in a classical limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model obtained in a suitably defined large-S limit. The low-temperature Lyapunov exponent is found to depend linearly on temperature, with a slope that is parametrically different than in the quantum case: it is proportional to N/S. The classical dynamics can be understood as the rotation of an N-dimensional body with a random inertia tensor, corresponding to the random couplings of the SYK Hamiltonian. This allows us to find an extensive number of fixed points, corresponding to the body's principal axes of rotation. The thermodynamics is mapped to the p-spin model with p=2, which exhibits a spin glass phase at low temperature whose presence does not preclude the existence of chaos.
